Hi, I'm new here and have been reading all about dogs foods but am still confused about whats the best food for my pup.

I have a 6 month old puppy that my parents adopted on Nov 29 for me as a christmas present. They wanted me to have a "small" dog but we walked out of the pound with a pit/shep or lab mix.

He is on the Science Diet large breed food right now.
and I am confused about this food. I have my vet and a few other people tellin' me its very good and then I have others saying it's just a high priced low quality food.

I've been wanting to change his food for a few weeks now because Science Diet is pricey but I do want him to have a good/high quality food.

I can speak from experience that the Canidae works well for my dogs (lab/rott mixes) and it works out to one 40 lb bag every 3-4 weeks for the 2 of them-way cheaper than the one 30 lb bag a week of Purina they'd be eating.

Hi there. Welcome to the board. I see that you are a fellow Floridian. If you have a hard time finding Canidae and end up looking for something else, go to PetSupermarket -- they sell both Wellness and Merrick. I would stay away from the Nutro. I know with my dog she didn't do well on it at all. She threw up a lot and I know a lot of other members dogs had the same reaction. By the way, we need to see pictures -- lots of them!
